I think it's this thread most are always talked about in the starting versions thread.

So apologies if I'm asking a dumb question, but is there a way to force the export to overwrite existing files?

I'm using this to export my playlists into XBMC (which I have working). However, when I make updates to my playlists in MM, it won't overwrite the playlist files inside the XBMC folder.

If I manually delete the old playlist files from the XBMC folder, then MM will automatically write the new playlist files in the proper spot and it all works perfectly. It would just be nice to not have to manually delete the files every time I make an update to a playlist inside MM.

The export already overwrites the existing files, either when using manual or automatic export.

The new, donation-only version called Export/Import Playlists has two additional related options: "Automatically export playlists:" - "When some playlist is added or modified" and "Delete exported file if its playlist is deleted":
What is new:
- Added: option for automatic export of MM playlists when they are modified, renamed, moved or added to the Playlists branch (requires MM v4.1.0.1648 or higher);
- Added: option for automatic removal of exported playlist files when corresponding MM playlists are removed from the Playlists branch (requires MM v4.1.0.1648 or higher);

Interesting, for some reason the files won't update in my XBMC folder. This is the folder I'm exporting the playlists to:
C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\playlists\music

However, if I do a test run on my desktop, it seems to overwrite fine.

Is it possible there is a permission issue in those folders that's blocking the overwrite? Something with the AppData folder, maybe?

Hey all! Hope to still get some support here for this fabulous Addon. Here's my situation:

my library is on a harddrive, sorted like this:

i:\music\artists\...
i:\music\genre\...
i:\music\soundtrack\...
and so on

I'm exporting various playlists with the addon, and they result in something like this:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:332, Beach House - On The Sea
I:\Music\Artists\Beach House\Bloom\09-Beach House - On The Sea.mp3
#EXTINF:252, Iron & Wine - Such Great Heights
I:\Music\Soundtrack\Garden State\11-Iron & Wine - Such Great Heights.mp3
#EXTINF:137, Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World
I:\Music\Soundtrack\Good Morning, Vietnam\19-Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World.mp3
#EXTINF:202, Cat Power - The Greatest
I:\Music\Genre\2000s\Cat Power - The Greatest.mp3

all well so far. Now here's the tricky part: I've bought a new Fiio X5 MP3-player that has two SD-cards for storage. Unfortunately, these two can not be combined, so I end up with "TF1:\" for the first card, and "TF2:\" for the second card. Now I've copied the music from i:\music\artists\... onto TF1, and everything else (genre, soundtrack, etc.) on TF2. For a playlist to work with both cards, it should look like this:

now I haven't found out how to replace two or more different paths with two different paths. I can replace i:\music\artists\ with TF1:\music\, but i also should be able to replace i:\music\soundtrack\ with TF2:\music\ at the same time. Maybe there's a separator that I can use to insert both replacements?

I cannot use relative paths, since the Fiio then only checks the sd-card on which the playlist is stored. If a title from the playlist is on the other card, it just skips it. And replacing the paths within an editor is not an option as well, since I have quite a few playlists, and they change frequently.

Of course I'm willing to donate if your add-on (is that based on this one here?) does the trick. Could you let me know when you've added the option, and where I can get it? Guess you're using PayPal, right?
